Dagueneau¹¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Adam Wedge| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 126

1/2

Winner on the Flat over 2m and has taken well to hurdling showing a good attitude to win over an extended 2m4f at Huntingdon in March on good to soft. Shapes as though this longer trip will be fine and won't mind if the forecast rain arrives.

Beau Sancy^p,t²⁴²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: R Johnson| T: O Murphy| OR: 116

11/4

Better known as a chaser with four wins in that sphere, and hurdles career has been below that including since joining this team. Last seen over the smaller obstacles when third in September at Worcester. Yard in tremendous form.

Bendy Bow¹¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: N de Boinville| T: M Bradstock

16/1

Shaped well when second of three in heavy ground novice at Leicester in November but pulled up on two subsequent runs and fair bit to prove now.

Jonnigraig²³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Bannister| T: R A Teal| OR: 78

40/1

Only form since leaving Willie Mullins was when 10L second on good ground at Worcester in September but regressed since and tailed off on soft ground when last seen in November.

Karabunga Dude⁴⁷⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Charlie Hammond⁽³⁾| T: M ApplebyWS

50/1

Pulled up on good to soft on only run in March last year at Chepstow when with Ben Pauling. Wind surgery since and starting off for different trainer now. Market may guide.

Rathbride Prince^t²⁶³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Stan Sheppard| T: M Sheppard| OR: 82

66/1

Poor maiden who has shown no worthwhile form at shorter and needs this big step up in trip to spark dramatic improvement.

Form: 4/95090-

Tango Echo Charlie¹²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R D P Newland

6/1

Fourth in a Point-to-point last December and much better in second of his bumper runs when 8L third if eight at Thurles in March. Has since left Ireland and joined respected yard so could be open to improvement and market should be informative.

Form: 7P/P403-

Peace Approved¹⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: James Best| T: R C Harper| OR: 75

125/1

Races keenly and has shown poor form over 2m and hard to see how this drastic step up in trip will be the answer. Not hard to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Dagueneau (1/2), Beau Sancy (11/4), Balagan (5/1), Tango Echo Charlie (6/1), Bendy Bow (16/1), Jonnigraig (40/1), Karabunga Dude (50/1), Rathbride Prince (66/1), Peace Approved (125/1)

DAGUENEAU was on the upgrade when last seen winning at Huntingdon with the first two home pulling 19L clear of the third. This looks weaker and it will disappointing if he can't follow up with Monday's Uttoxeter winner Balagan looking the principal threat if coming on here. Beau Sancy doesn't seem as good over the smaller obstacles but appeals most of the remainder.
